    With the 5lbs I bought last week, I finally feel like I've got a good enough variety and quantity of powder to last me for a little while.

    I started reloading last fall and have slowly increased my stockpile over time. I had some powder, but not enough, when things got scarce. Since then, I've been checking places more often and I'm starting to see more on the shelves than I have in several months. While the selection isn't what it was and some powders are still VERY hard to find, you can generally make do with what's available.

    Reloading components is the only thing I got caught short on by the panic. It will not happen again. I have a few more jars than that. I'm wanting to play with reduced loads in a couple of rifles so I have six jars of Trail Boss on the way to Bass Pro. I can always burn it in my .45 Colt.

    Its a start.......:)
    If you are using the Bullseye for 40, it is snappy as hell, IMHO.
    I like the 231 for 40 and its my go to powder for it now.
    I just worked up some 308 with 4064. I have some 3031 and H4865(I think it is) to try also.
    I have about 1/4lb of Win 760 Ive thought about doing some 175gr SMKs.

    Anytime I see a lb of 2230, whether I need it or not, I buy it.

    I use the Bullseye for 45, 380, 38 and 357.

    I'm that way with H335. If I see it, I buy it. I've also been wanting to get some Varget, but haven't found any yet.
    I don't load for
